Re the ethical dilemma of helping MJ with a brochure.  Tell them you'll be
happy to help them as long as the questions include those such as the
following, along with ACCURATE answers:

"What harm can come from giving just one bottle of formula in the early days
of my child's life?"

"How much will formula-feeding increase my child's risk of disease during
infancy, disease throughout life, and death from SIDS?"

"How much will formula-feeding decrease my child's IQ?"

"What does the AAP recommend in terms of infant feeding?" [exclusive bf to
six months, continued bf to a MINIMUM of one year, and thereafter as long as
mother and child both desire -- in other words, NEVER a need for formula]

"What does the research literature say about the link between formula
company marketing practices and duration of breastfeeding?"

If they're willing to include honest answers to the above questions, then
SURE, go ahead and collaborate with them.

Of course, we all know they wouldn't in a million years.
